Glimpses, clearly intentional, can be caught of a tiny drow female stalking the alleys of Edonil, every so often she pauses to speak to someone, her voice barely over a whisper. As she looks up to whomever she's speaking to, the lower half of her face can be seen, and just visible under her left eye, the silvery spiderweb tattoo mark of uss d'l'Yath Velg'larn d'Lolth d'Menzoberranzan.
Standing just over 4' tall and thin as a rail, a good strong cavern wind might just knock her off her feet. Dressed in blacks, with hints of the deep purple and dark blood red of the temple, she carries a staff topped with a spider made of black gold, it has diamonds for all eight eyes and on its abdomen is an hourglass carved from a single blood red garnet, the staff is of ebony wood, bound in adamantine, on first glance it has no magical dweomer. Occasionally a loose strand of hair escapes from under her hood, it is the color and texture of spun silver. Her hands are delicate and her fingers strong but slender as if used to very fine, intricate work, there might be seen small callouses on her thumbs and index fingers from holding certain 'tools', her nails are a deep red color, filed to points with the tips painted black. Unlike many drow females, she displays a considerable amount of perfect ebony skin, no marks or flaws to be seen. Sheathed on her right thigh is a single dagger, its design almost ceremonial in nature, the hilt seems to be entirely made up of Lolth's holy symbol, the blade itself is separated into two, looking much like spider fangs. Hidden in numerous places on her person are a more deadly assortment of blades, from those with serrated edges for inflicting exquisite pain, to those nearly paper-thin for peeling off layers of skin one thin layer at a time.
Those who have the singular discomfort of speaking to her, find she is looking for the Ust'Yathallar. Why? She will not say. Periodically she stops by the temple, always to be told the Ust'Yathallar is busy, with a shake of her head, she steps into the shadows to return another time.
